I would totally drive that... Though maybe it's the angle, but doesn't it look like 1st, 3rd, and 5th would be a very tight squeeze?

Absolutely, that thing looks great. Helluva grocery getter there. And right, doesn't look like it makes the gears.

I find myself liking it.

I would drive that.
It looks like a fairly well done project. I do have a soft spot for well done
conversions like that. I saw an early 80s Cadillac Sedan on a truck chassis
that looked totally proportional with reasonable size tires.

Maybe it's just my inner redneck.

Looks like it could be a cousin of the Local Motors Rallye car. Very well done, very unique, and seriously cool looking project. IMHO that looks better than a a backyard Camaro / Corvette / pickyoursportscar mounted to a lifted pickup frame.

Neat find!

Did it sell? What are the links built of?

That is actually pretty dang cool! Needs a little creative stickshift bending, but overall, the pictures look pretty nice!
